Trauma is the most common cause of pain-related temporomandibular disorders (TMD). More than half (61%) of trauma cases result from patients opening their mouth too wide or too long. Dr. Schiffman presents current evidence-based diagnostic criteria for screening and diagnosing the most common pain-related TMD that can be easily used in the clinical setting. Then he describes management techniques to minimize TMD pain during dental treatment. Finally, he explains how to implement evidence-based simple self-care instructions and medications for managing patients with painful TMD. You will be ready the next time your patient complains of painful TMD during or after a dental procedure. 

Eric Schiffman, DDS, MS, is a Professor and the Director of the Clinical Research at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, as well as a Diplomate of the American Board of Orofacial Pain. During his 35 years of experience treating TMD and orofacial pain patients, he’s received more than $17 million in research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and has over 60 peer-reviewed publications, 12 book chapters and 3 patents – with another pending. He lectures worldwide on topics pertaining to the prevalence, etiology, diagnosis, and management of patients with TMD and orofacial pain. He is a co-owner of the inter-disciplinary Minnesota Head and Neck Pain Clinic where he treats TMD and orofacial pain patients. In his leisure time, he enjoys reading the comics, politics, and the occasional novel in that order.
